SITUA

SITUA — New England IPA — Malaspina Brewing

SITUA is the New England IPA crafted by Malaspina Brewing, a craft brewery from Milan (Lombardy). It is enveloping and intensely fruity, brewed to be smooth and easy-drinking. The combination of hops Mosaic, Ekuanot, Centennial, and Talus, used at different stages to optimize each one's contribution, creates a fullness of flavors on the palate with a balanced and surprisingly clean finish.

Four hops, four stages: the technique behind SITUA

Each hop has its ideal addition time: Mosaic brings tropical fruit and floral notes; Ekuanot adds lime, papaya, and herbal notes; Centennial contributes citrus and resin; Talus — one of the newest hops — brings red fruit and floral notes. Using them at different stages means extracting the best from each without overlap.

Sensory profile

On the nose, it’s an explosion of fruit: tropical fruit, citrus, flowers, and red fruit intertwine in an intense and enveloping bouquet. On the palate, it is smooth and easy-drinking, with a fullness of flavors that fills the mouth without ever feeling heavy. The finish is balanced and surprisingly clean for such a hop-forward NEIPA.

• Clean finish — SITUA’s surprise: despite the intense hopping, the finish is balanced and invites the next sip
